Weeks after he was sworn in as Ondo State Governo, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has picked a former Deputy Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr Olaide Adelami, as the deputy governor.
This came a few hours after the governor sacked all the commissioners, special advisers and aides on Wednesday.
The name of the new deputy governor has been transmitted to the State House of Assembly for approval, a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr Ebenezer Adeniyan, said.
“His nomination will be announced by the House of Assembly later today,” the statement said.
Adelami, who hails from Owo, the headquarters of Owo Local Government Area, the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s town, retired as Deputy Clerk to the National Assembly in April 2018.
Adelami was an APC governorship aspirant in 2020 but stepped down for the late Akeredolu, Persecondnews gathered.
